As we age the skin around our eyes can start to sag and we look tired and old. Luckily with advancements in cosmetic procedures there are non surgical options to rejuvenate this area without surgery. One such procedure is the non surgical eyelid lift which uses dermal fillers to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles around the eyes.
Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift
A non surgical eyelid lift also known as a non surgical blepharoplasty involves the strategic injection of dermal fillers or neuromodulators like Botox into targeted areas around the eyes. This treats concerns such as sagging skin, hollows under the eyes and fine lines. By adding volume and support to these areas patients can look more youthful and refreshed without surgery.
How It Works
During the procedure, hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected into specific areas around the eyelids. These fillers work by:
Restoring Volume: As we age, we lose fat and collagen in our skin and get hollows under the eyes. Fillers like Restylane® or JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA can fill in this lost volume.
Smoothing Wrinkles: The injections fill in fine lines and wrinkles that make us look old.1. Lifting Drooping Skin: By supporting the surrounding tissues fillers can lift drooping eyelids.
Results are immediate and can last from 6 months to over a year, depending on individual factors and the type of filler used.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Eyelid Lifts
Going nonsurgical has many advantages:
Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical options that require significant recovery time, non-surgical eyelid lift is non-surgical eyelid lifts involve minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
Immediate Results: Filler results are visible right away, so patients can see improvements immediately after their appointment.
Natural Looking Results: When done by an experienced injector results look natural and enhance rather than alter one’s features.
